Ian Richardson’s main worry ahead of the big match live is the availability of loan ‘keeper, Wayne Henderson [pictured]. After signing on Thursday, it remains unknown as to whether or not the club was successful in removing a cup-tied clause in his loan contract.

The duo of Paul Bolland and Glynn Hurst, both suspended, are also definite non-starters as they remain with a three and two match ban, respectively, to serve.
Meanwhile, Rob Ullathorne is nearing full fitness and should travel with the squad. His versatility of being able to double us as a left-back and central midfielder will be a useful tool if the Magpies should revert from their 3-5-2 formation for a different approach.
Elsewhere, Chris O’Grady has been cleared to play by Leicester whilst Mike Edwards (knee) and Steve Scoffham (broken leg) remain sidelined.
Caretaker player/manager Ian Richardson is also unlikely to feature due to a knee injury.
